Galveston

Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea winds blowing
I still see her dark eyes glowing
She was twenty-one
When I left Galveston

Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannon flashing
I cleaned my gun
And dreamed of Galveston

I still see her standing by the water
Standing there, staring out to sea
And is she waiting there for me
On the beach where we used to run?

Galveston, oh Galveston
I am so afraid of dying
Before I wipe the tears she's crying
Before I watch the sea boats lying in the sun
Galveston
Oh Galveston

I still see her standing by the water
Standing there, staring out to sea
And is she waiting there for me
On the beach where we used to run?

Galveston, oh Galveston
I am so afraid of dying
Before I wipe the tears she's crying
She was twenty-one
When I left Galveston
